The difference lies in the choice of the heroine.

According to Li Yu's thoughts, since he was not filming in the cold country this time, he moved to the beautiful country.

The movie is also going to be released here, so when using actors, try to use foreigners.

Among the protagonists, it is enough to have Li Yu, an oriental face.

In order to highlight him with a group of foreigners.

Techev has no opinion on this.

After all, the script is Li Yu's, and he also invested part of the money, so he is a veritable boss.

But in the choice of the heroine, Tcchev insisted on playing a woman with an oriental face.

As for Li Yu, she is determined to be a white actress.

On this issue, Techev strenuously opposed.

Li Yu asked him why.

"Well, a white girl can never fall in love with an East Asian, which is almost impossible to do in reality or in other movies," Titchev explains. ”

Although Techev's words were absolute, and Li Yu had 10,000 reasons to refute them, Li Yu did not do that.

Li Yu asked, "Is this an unwritten rule?" ”

Joseph said, "Yes, unspoken rules. ”

No one will be happy if they say this.

Li Yu knew that in the beautiful country, discrimination against East Asians could be said to be multifaceted, and he had seen it when he came here, but he didn't expect it to penetrate so deeply, and he didn't even let go of the movie.

In the area of spreading American values through film and television works, brainwashing people all over the world can be said to be a common trick of beautiful countries.

Li Yu recalled the movies he had watched before, some of which often featured great white male heroes coming to backward China to help the Chinese people defeat evil and become saviors, followed by East Asian girls falling in love with white men, or entangled with white men.

Or, East Asian women will always fall in love with white men unconditionally and desperately, even if they are abandoned, or even give their lives, it will not be a problem for white men.

Such an example, in the movies of the beautiful country in the previous life, is simply not too common.

In the movie "The Sea Passed Away" released in 1923, the girl rescued a white man who fell into the water, fell in love with him immediately, and gave birth to a child for him, but after the white man returned to the beautiful country, there has been no news since.

is similar to "Madame Butterfly" released in 1932, but the heroine is not a Chinese woman, and she has been replaced by a small day. The same hopelessly in love with each other, the same waiting, the same abandonment, the same suicide...... This kind of domination relationship has been staged again and again in various movies in the beautiful country.

"Cherry Blossom Love", "Spring Fuso", and "Kyoto Beauty" are more recently...... In these movies, in the name of love, white men are treated like emperors, and women in small days are crazy about white men.

In China, there are "Shanghai Surprise", Hanguo has "Battlefield", and Yuenan has "Green Berets" and "First Blood 2......

In addition, there is the blackening of the former Soviet Union and the smear of the Chinese people.

This stems from the arrogance of the beautiful country, which thinks that the beautiful country represents advanced and free, while China is backward and mysterious, and even uses their own understanding of Chinese culture to define us as the Yellow Peril.

The Fu Manchu series of movies is the most typical example. In addition to the movie, there are squinting eyes......

Even if there is a positive image of East Asian men, they will deliberately suppress or erase the masculinity in them, and will never attract white women, and there will never be white women. Falling in love with an East Asian man is deprived of seven emotions and six desires.

In the face of all these kinds of evidence, there are people who whitewash the beautiful country, saying that this is a universal value and that art has no borders.

This shows the greatness of Bruce Lee.

……

Of course, Li Yu can't accept such a setting.

Li Yu asked: "Then, according to what you mean, it's okay to replace the heroine with an East Asian woman, right?" ”

Techev knew that he still hadn't convinced Li Yu, so he changed his attitude.

"If you don't believe me," Tczev said, "you can shoot it and give it a try...... But in that case, I may not be able to convince investors, after all, no one invests when they know they are going to lose money, so maybe all the investment in this movie has to be made by you alone. ”

This movie will not have too high a cost, and Li Yu can't afford to come out alone.

It's just that in this case, the risk is too great.

The uncertainties have increased greatly, and without investors in beautiful countries, the film will definitely be constrained along the way from filming to release.

Li Yu doesn't have to pull beautiful Chinese people to make money together, but for convenience, he has to pull in some foreigners.

However, it is not necessary to pull on Tcchev and Joseph.

The two of them are just working for Li Yu, why are there so many part-time jobs?

Li Yu stared into the other party's eyes and asked, "Is this what you mean, or is this what the investor means?" ”

Tczev was instantly dumbfounded, and suddenly realized that this East Asian was not so easy to fool.

However, Tcchev has a quick brain and has his own set of rhetoric.

Tczev immediately explained: "It's not the investor's intention, but what I say is true. I'm just giving you a heads-up in advance, and if you don't believe me, it's okay, I'm just responsible for getting the movie up anyway. Actually, I don't have to remind you. ”

Li Yu snorted coldly and said, "Really? I forgot to tell you that I don't necessarily have to use you, understand? ”

Li Yu pointed to the camera and said, "As a director, I will too." If it weren't for Charlie's sake, you'd already be fired by me. Who is the boss and who are the employees? You'd better get your position right. ”

Li Yu is very strong, which makes Lu Zhiqiang and Black and White Impermanence and a few other people very happy, and they have a feeling of raising their eyebrows.

What they thought to themselves was: "Li is really not used to ghosts......"

Tcchev finally shut up, he didn't want to go.

The main thing is Li Yu's script, which is too attractive to him.

Racing movies, Tcchev has never filmed, and it is also a subject he has always wanted to try, but he has never waited for a good script.

Joseph said: "If this is the case, then Mr. Li, you will have to negotiate with the investors in person." How the movie is filmed must be decided by the person who pays for it. ”

Joseph found a car company to sponsor, if Li Yu insisted on his idea, Joseph believed that the car company would definitely withdraw the sponsorship.

Li Yu said: "If the car company doesn't agree, I'll change the car company." If you don't agree, I'll replace you. What I have is a solution. ”

Seeing that Li Yu still refused to let go, Tcchev and Joseph were very helpless, but they didn't have the temper to leave directly, Li Yu gave too much, and he was reluctant to leave.

Tczev could only say: "Our movies have always been shot like this, and we can respect Mr. Li's ideas, but we also want to make the movie better and earn more box office." Joseph is not angry about this matter, you may really have to discuss it with the car company. The movie has luxury car sponsorship, which will be more interesting, of course, there is no problem without sponsorship, after all, we are making a movie, not a car advertisement. But in that case, Mr. Lee's burden will be very heavy. ”

Li Yu is just scaring and scaring the two, and if he wants to replace them and find someone again, it will only be a waste of time.

Some notions are deep-rooted.

It's not just a few words that can make the other side make changes and concessions.

What Li Yu wants to do is to use the box office to shut everyone up.

But how easy is that to say?
